A lot of you know what I have been through this past year and a half or so. I have noticed many people like to share their story and offer advice and I am no different. I have been keeping a journal for the last 8 years covering many areas of my life, none more so than the latest two. My brush with covert narcissism and parental alienation is therefore going to be committed to book form. Of course, names and locations will be switched to protect identities where necessary, but my book will also contain evidences and proofs, not to mention quotes from past victims originally unknown to me. It will also provide a help section for people who have gone through the same. Under the working title Miss Heaven&Hell, I hope to benefit somehow from the darkest time of my life as part of my continuing struggle to repair it.
So my first book written as a guest author for the series Savage Realms Gamebooks has finally been submitted to Amazon, and is available to purchase here https://tinyurl.com/ahkttftx
It is a great honour to be the first guest author for TroyAnthony Schermer’s expanding universe, and the project has seen me through a very dark time in life. IYKYK. It has recieved much praise from Troy and the playtesters, whilst some gamebook fans have been hooked with interest by the arresting title and fabulous art pieces.
I’m delighted to share that I have also been penning a sequel to which we have every intention of producing at some point.
I am currently awaiting the artwork for Malinkar : Lord Of Enmity, which has been going well. The book is billed for release as December 2023, but of course these things can take time if someone falls ill/ real life gets in the way. But so far, so good. Malinkar : Lord Of Enmity is the origin story of the villain from my third book, The Druids Of Pneuma. It highlights why he became so opposed to certain folk, where his powers came from, and sets him up for, possibly, much more.
Hope to start posting here more frequently soon again. Jam out!
I’m thrilled to shared with you all that 18 months after scrawling the first letter of my fifth book, it is ready to be published and will be available next month on Amazon. A huge thank you to TroyAnthony Schermer of Savage Realms for giving me the prestigious honour of first guest author in his growing series. Luiz Prado and Robert Carmona for the incredible internal illustrations, and Ilya Shkipin for the incredible cover art.
The final three days are upon us. I have been running a Kickstarter campaign for my sixth book, Malinkar : Lord Of Enmity, which has been highly successful. If you like to read fantasy adventures, you may just enjoy this yarn as well. It sees the titular character rise to power after discovering his true ancestral line, his corruption and swing towards hatred of the Viridian empire. On top of his, the story is interactive, and a prequel to my third book The Druids Of Pneuma. There are opportunities to get PDFs of both in this campaign so why not check it out today! http://kck.st/3pHWHTS
Only my sunglasses could disguise
The painful torment behind my eyes
A walk so lonely now you’re not here
Falling from my face tear after tear
They hit the ground with delicate grace
Each reminding of a nicer place
Not so long ago back in time
Where everything had seemed so fine
I am not brave nor am I strong
People seem to get this wrong
I simply grin and bear each day
You would not have it any other way
A lonely walk but from the start
You still are with me in my heart
I may still cry but all tear drops
Ensures me that love never stops
Memory Walk

I’d like to thank everybody who has supported the kickstarter campaign for my sixth book, Malinkar : Lord Of Enmity >>>
http://kck.st/3pHWHTS <<< We have successfully funded on kickstarter but there are still many cool rewards to choose from including limited edition hardcovers and PDFs of this graphic interactive fantasy. http://kck.st/3pHWHTS
. It’s been a rough year or so for me but I really appreciate those who still appreciate me.
Today was the launch of the Kickstarter for the special edition of my 6th book Malinkar : Lord Of Enmity. This adult interactive adventure story covers the corruption and rise of the villain in my third book, and where his animosity towards others spawned from. A prequel to The Druids Of Pneuma, the Kickstarter is to raise funds for an illustrator and limited edition hardback copies.

Greetings everyone. It isn’t long now until my sixth book, Malinkar : Lord Of Enmity, is launched on kickstarter for a limited special edition hardback. Only 45 copies are scheduled to be created, with only 40 of those up for grabs. Keep watching this space to make sure you do not miss out on your opportunity to get one.
One of my biggest gripes in the world is child abuse. None moreso than #ParentalAlienation which I recently became an avid fundraiser for. My actor friend Theresa Godly, and director friend Martin Gooch, are making a film together highlighting the horrific effects of this sort of abuse, which shockingly goes unnoticed in the legal field all too much. However, this is a crowdfunder project and there are three quarters funded. There is still 2700 left to raise. If you can help in the form of a pledge, or simply sharing the hell out of it, they would be most grateful, and check out those awesome rewards!

So my next title for the Savage Realms series, The Tavern On Gallows Hill, is further along the production process. New illustrations are being produced by artist Luiz Prado, TroyAnthony Schermer has been working hard editing and proof reading it, and I dare say the playtesting will begin soon.
I have commenced a sixth book which will be aimed at an older audience. It will be a prequel to The Druids Of Pneuma, in which you play the villain and discover how he became so malignant. Experiences from recent events in RL have given me new inspirations in which to base this story around. I’m aiming at 300 refs, but it’s a project in the making still.
